I believe it will be close to this what you have chosen ,

but if I had the choice I would use rotation..

replacing as seen above..

If it runs smoothly.. My first subs..1-6

Any poor performances then subs priority might change..

Wouldlike to see Winks more attacking..

sunderland have won 1 out of their last 4 

watford have won 2 

 

slightly more challenging but not exactly scary for either of them 

Would need Ipswich or Leeds to have an off day, but we live in hope!

[Chrysalis]

Our last game showed its about more than the line up.  Hopefully we dont treat as a training session until the game is put to bed.

[Simonb]

Start Daka, go in at half time 2 up for a change. Give Cannon the second half

There seems to be plenty on here who chin stroke and nod knowingly about west Brom, Sunderland and Middlesbrough. From what I've seen, all are garbage.

West Brom and Middlesbrough have been in pretty decent runs of form of late though?

Tue. But Every team in the championship does that.

 

Win 4 on the spin then flip to being unable to buy a win for 4. Was ever thus. 

[Chelmofox]

Time for Fatawu to score that incutting left foot screamer. He's been teeing it up for a while now and this is the game to nail it. 

 

Somersault over to the Millwall fans who all lose their sh1te.  Then we win 5-0.

 

Best dream ever.

Enzo Maresca Pre-Match Press Conference vs Millwall

 

Four injured players back?

“All of them are out.”
 

Vardy?

“It’s still a small problem. Hopefully we can have him back soon.”

 

Any fresh problems?

“No.”
 

Important period?

“We have an important amount of games and winning is the most important. It will be a complicated game. In this moment, it’s important not only for us to try to win games, but to have as many points by the Rotherham game.”

 

Tricky month?

“It’s a tricky month because it’s December, many games, you can have some players out with illness. The only way is to think about the next game. It’s impossible to think about the next three or four games.”
 

Quickest team to reach 50 points with win tomorrow?

“We already reached some records. They’re going to be more important if we reach our target. Otherwise they are not important.”

 

Millwall?

“They’ve just changed manager and are trying something different. We saw Plymouth, one of the lowest teams in terms of high pressing, they came here and pressed high. So I don’t know if Millwall change and how they come. We have to be patient and be clinical.”

 

Difficult to analyse because they've changed managers?

“We just watched the five or six games and we watch previous teams from this manager to see if we can see things.”

 

Fans?

“Probably since day one, we need our fans. After relegation, it’s a complicated moment. We need them. We understand every effort they do when we play at home and away. QPR away and West Brom away, where at the end of the game we can all be happy, it’s a fantastic feeling.”

 

Keep same 11?

“If you want to maintain the high standards, you need to change. It’s impossible for 11 players to play every game and keep the same level. They are human beings. We need to refresh. Sometimes we will repeat the same 11. The normal situation is we need new energy.”

 

Table?

“We will see after Rotherham, that is 23 games, we can see where we are and what we need to reach our target.”

Just love how honest he is, basically saying 'yeah we know the Ipswich game is going to be crucial and we want to win every game until then'

 

Also the point about Millwall manager is interesting, the 'previous teams' he's only ever managed England U20's for two games after the summer world cup, losing them both before joining Millwall. I guess he might mean some of Lampards teams at Chelsea and Everton?

[Stevosevic]

Sounds like Vardy will probably miss the Rooney showdown then  

[Ric Flair]

Yunus is starting to prove himself very delicate isn't he. A real shame, he's got a lot of technical ability.

Yeah it's sad to see. Based on his injury record, I don't see us signing him permanently, though January will be massive for him with Ndidi at AFCON. He may not start with Praet now back, but that's his opportunity. If he ends up injured for that month... well then that might be the last we see of him.

I think his loan has an obligation to buy if we are promoted but only if he plays a certain amount of games

 

Might end up one of those loans where even if he does start playing more at some point he just disappears

This is pretty much what Enzo said after Saturdays game, That they were unlikely to be available for the Milwall game.

 

Another big chance for Daka to change Enzo's thinking if he can add a couple of Goals Wednesday night.

 

Which I hope he does as we need all our strikers performing well.

Do you know if we have an option to send him back? It might be that there is a better deal for us somewhere in the next window? 🤷

[AKCJ]

One change for me then. Ricardo back in midfield.

If we lose NDiddi in January, We definitle need someone of a more physical presence in the Team.

 

I'd like a Strong, Pacy, Physical player who can also play and pass the Ball.

[Steve Earle]

My guess is 3-4 changes. One fresh CB, Ricardo, Praet or Casadei starting, Albrighton maybe too.

As opposed to those weak, slow, players who can't play or pass, that many others are crying out for? 

[goose2010]

so we basically have the squad we had available on Saturday with Ricardo. 

 

For me you go with 

 

                   Faes    Coady   Justin

 

                        Winks  Ricardo 

 

                Casadai            Praet

   

    Fatawu       Daka       Mavididi

 

 

  Give Jannick, Ndidi KDH a rest, bring Cannon on at 60 along with Ndidi (if required) 

 

Would get Alves on the bench as well for Nelson

[lanefox]

Possibly Alves on the bench tomorrow with the four players still out , may explain why he wasn't in youth squad yesterday

What, and no goalkeeper?!!

Yes, I wouldn't say can't play a pass but get brushed off the Ball too easily.
